The film is so beautiful that people can't believe it, but for the audience, it is necessary to know that the evil in reality is not imaginary, and also believe that the good in the film is based on real life. The little male protagonist Auggie is neither humble nor arrogant when he encounters malice, and reciprocates when he encounters kindness. His growth is the love and education of his family.

When it comes to upbringing, we have to talk about education. The film itself expresses American education - home education as well as school education. Rather than calling it a Hollywood movie, this movie is better known as a pure American movie.

What is the difference between Hollywood films and American films? If we replace the actors in Hollywood films with actors who do not know the country, we may not be able to tell which country they are from; but if we replace the actors in American films with actors who do not know the country, we can still immediately recognize that it is from the United States. Life, American education, American ideas, this is an American piece. When I watch a Hollywood blockbuster, I know I'm in a movie theater, but when I watch such a beautiful movie, I feel like I'm in America.

One of the most obvious and typical plots is that everyone in the family, mother, father, sister, and even sister and best friend Miranda, when talking to Auggie, is the attitude of adults to adults. Taking care of him is like taking care of fragile glass, but in all communication with him, treat him like an adult, and believe that he can understand, understand, and feel. It is not like many Chinese families, where adults have absolute authority, doting or beating or scolding children, all based on personal preference; or think that children are naive and boring, and think that children's affairs are nothing but learning. Yes, treat children from the perspective of adults, rather than communicate with children with an equal heart towards adults.

The second is that American campuses have almost zero tolerance for bullying. I still remember the bullying incident of Chinese students on American campuses in the past two years. The parties were heavily fined and sentenced. The parents of the parties went to the United States from China to try to intercede for their children. They were slapped in the face by American justice. The fight between Jack and Julian in the film and Julian's bullying of Auggie fully demonstrate that the school has zero tolerance for bullying regardless of your background.

From this film, we can see the equality and respect with American characteristics, not only the respect for Auggie who has a flawed face, but also the equality between adults and children, the equality between rich people and wages, and even from this. Respect and equality for different colors, different nationalities, different genders, ages, and all differences.

The highly developed Northern Europe has become so equal that no honorific is used between people at all. Britain and the United States dare to talk about human rights and incorporate political correctness into equality and respect. We have a long way to go to build a fair, just and harmonious society.
